A 1998 Digital camera in present time: Olympus D340-R

[@jefflaitila9799]

This was my first digital camera. I explored Japan with it in the year 2000. Ah, the memories.

[@MattsNotes]

A japan trip with this camera would make for some awesome images! Thanks for sharing this

Hot dog! Thanks for the very cool video and for the shout out. Your stitching idea is genius-with the huge depth of field on these bad boys I bet it could make some very convincing X-Pan-style pano images! Time to try it on my goofy 1.3 MP D-100…

Cool, just in time for the premiere. Thanks for the upload

[@MattsNotes]

Thanks friend! I greatly appreciate your support :)

Awesome and fun video! Those digi cams deserve some love!

[@shutterslaps4938]

Another classic 👏 great work man 💪

[@Geo-jx4ij]

This was my first digital camera, and I still have it in my collection 😊

If a company made a modern version of something like this I’d buy it in an instant.

[@MattsNotes]

I agree! I'd love for a modern, enthusiast level compact camera in this body design

The one time I didn't wear a watch too haha

1:19 Wdym? To replay an image, all you’ve gotta do is close the camera (back) and press the green button (front). Then you can look through all of them.

[@aaronhernandez9931]

Can confirm 👍🏼

i just thrifted this & got a memory card for it. but the screen doesn’t work. it flashes for a second and then doesn’t work at all. when i slide the front the lense just twitches and makes a noise like it’s trying to focus. any help?

[@MattsNotes]

Sorry for the late reply. What memory card are ya using for this? Also, are you using the original battery or an aftermarket?

[@viorikakopets1245]

Could you please link what card reader you use… PLEASE 😭😭😭

[@dianasuchrissa8656]

hi there! i have a similar model of the camera, c830-l but i have no idea what the buttons on top are for other than the power button and shutter release, and still have no idea how to transfer the photos to my laptop. i have tried some card readers but most of them are too small to fit the smartmedia card. could you possibly make a video showing the functions of the buttons and perhaps how to transfer the photos? thanks so much!

[@MattsNotes]

I have another very similar camera so I'll be sure to explain the buttons more :) As far as getting the photos onto a laptop or phone, you'd likely need to snag an XD card reader. Your model should also take XD cards. I got mine from Amazon for about 8 bucks lol. I hope this helps a bit!

[@dianasuchrissa8656]

@@MattsNotes ahh I see! Thank you so much, very helpful!!

[@brandimichele8806]

i just got this camera from my late grand parents and the photos look NOTHING like this lmao

[@YML0VE]

I found this camera in my parents house and started taking pics with it. But now I don’t know how to get the photos off of it. I don’t have the cable for it and have had no luck finding a card reader for this specific type of memory card lol. How did you upload yours?

[@MattsNotes]

I have what I believe is called the xd card converter! Bought it from KZbin to read the files. I'll look it up and put a link in the bio for ya!

[@YML0VE]

@@MattsNotes Hi! I just saw this comment. Didn’t see a link. Could you do it one more time please? And thank you so much for replying!

Pleaseee

[@karinekezimana8143]

How do you develop the pictures?

[@MattsNotes]

These old olympus digicams use a very specific memory card (xD I believe) so I just shoot them in jpeg and use an xD card converter to transfer the files to my computer!

[@makenamorrow3315]

I found this camera at the thrift store but I can’t get it to turn on I put new batteries but nothing

[@MattsNotes]

Sorry for the late reply! Seems like an ongoing issue with this old camera. Might sound dumb, but what kind of batteries did ya try (were they alkaline, copper, lithium niMH)?

[@skyhigh1154]

I had 1😂🎉

[@MattsNotes]

Seems like a camera everyone has laying in a shoebox somewhere around their garage haha
